The game was expected to show at the Austin, Texas, Fantastic Arcade event in September 2014. Rock, Paper, Shotgun reported that a presentation of the game at the GDC 2013 Experimental Gameplay Workshop made the audience "cheer and applaud in delight". Polygon's Michael McWherter noted that while some of its levels felt aimless or more like an "experiment" or "interactive toy", others "showed puzzle-like potential", including a level where chickens needed to cross a road. Its goal was to knock the sun out of the sky by regurgitating objects once swallowed by the hole. Donut County also took inspiration from indie game Windosill's art style, Los Angeles's high density of doughnut shops, and locations from Bruce Springsteen songs, such as Asbury Park and the New Jersey Turnpike.Ī demo of the game was featured at IndieCade in October 2012. Esposito was inspired by the design of Hopi doll sculptures.įollowing a blog post that expressed criticism of his treatment of Hopi culture, and his subsequent effort to make an "authentic game" that incorporated the culture, he decided to change the title and abandon the theme. Esposito described the game as a "whimsical physics toy".ĭonut County was originally called Kachina, based on the Native American "spirit beings that personify nature". The game grew to work as a "reverse Katamari": instead of a ball that expands upon touching items, as in Katamari Damacy, the Donut County hole expands upon swallowing items.

The core game concept was prompted by a game jam based on video game pitches from a Peter Molyneux parody Twitter account, Peter Molydeux.Įsposito made a game called The Pits from a pitch wherein the player moves a hole around an environment.

Indie game developer Ben Esposito worked on Donut County in his free time while developing The Unfinished Swan. BK agrees to help return all the people of Donut County back to the surface.

BK rejects the offer and races out to help hack the quadcopter and destroy it, destroying the raccoons' facilities as well. The Trash King tempts BK with a lucrative position, while sending a giant quadcopter to fight off Mira. Mira and BK launch a mission to stop the Trash King.Īs Mira uses a hole to wreak havoc within the raccoon's facilities, BK tries to convince the Trash King to stop what he is doing. They come to learn that this was part of the plan of BK"s boss, the Trash King - to acquire more trash, the Trash King and other raccoons developed the app to swallow all the trash it could find, ignoring the whims of the people that lived there. They join the other residents trapped underground, and they all try to reason with BK of what he did was wrong. BK refuses to acknowledge he did anything wrong, and when he receives his quadcopter, Mira purposely destroys it and then orders a donut to the shop, swallowing it up as well. However, Mira discovers that these aren't donuts being set by the app, but actual holes which have been consuming the homes and residents of the place. She finds BK more interested in a new mobile app, trying to earn enough points for a quadcopter drone, which he does by scheduling the delivery of donuts to the residents of Donut County. Human Mira works for her friend BK, a raccoon, at the local donut shop in Donut County. This can be used to fling certain items swallowed by it to hit outcroppings to dislodge objects or to trigger switches. Later in the game, the player gains access to a catapult that fits in the top of the hole. There are some puzzle aspects to this to swallow objects floating on top of water, the player may need to maneuver the hole to drain part of the water, and then have that water consumed by a bird, repeating this until the water is drained. As players move the hole to swallow objects, the hole increases in size.

The goal of the game is to swallow every object to essentially clear out the level. In Donut County, the players control a hole across several different levels, each of which is self contained but has several areas that open up as they progress.
